Hechinger Mall should be zoned to the sky, the Starburst Station should open before RFK Stadium and the X2 should run every 90 seconds

The proposal to add more density near rail stations shows (among other things) that Metro needs to get on that Silver Line extension to the Starburst β€” which is currently an anti-growth bubble even in the revised FLUM

Grow-vernight scenario: Where OP has suggested more density is and is not on the table Just before the release of the new proposed FLUM, here are some maps to help you visualize the Office of Planning’s DC2050 β€œgrowth scenarios.”

Good primer by @alexbaca.bsky.social and co. on the changes coming to DC's Future Land Use Map and why none of the proposals goes far enough: ggwash.org/view/102637/...

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

Thorough reporting by the Post and Courier confirming key details of the testimony by the 13-year-old victim whose allegations of sexual abuse by Donald Trump the DOJ sought to withhold from the Epstein files.

Epstein ruined her life before she turned 17.

Denmark responded to 1973 oil crisis by reducing car-dependency. Let's do that now. - Streetsblog Chicago "The government had to introduce car-free Sundays. And then people realized that the car-free Sunday was the best day of the week."

FYI the 1970s oil crisis was the impetus for Copenhagen turning into a cycling city

Their editorial page is conservative but this is from the newsroom side, just straight-up solid reporting.

First-person perspective doesn't work for romance stories. The only secrets the reader can know are the things that the protagonist knows. Whatever people are into I guess

Readers Are Embracing a Shift in Perspective in Books. It Could Reshape Literary Culture. There’s been a profound shift in perspective preferences when it comes to romance novels.

Fascinating article about romantasy readers rejecting third-person perspective novels and insisting on stories told in the first person slate.com/culture/2026...

No, they did not. Especially after seeing what the book was. And after seeing Hanif Abdurraqib's book on Tribe. There was already a model for it

So many artists reject capital-C criticism, even from a writer as tender as Marcus. I understand taking it personally and I don't excuse De La's response. But for a writer that comes with the territory.

Doesn't this depend partly on timing and categories of labor? I'm persuaded that construction for the Qatar World Cup involved many, many more times the working conditions I'd call slavery than Milan Winter Games

It’s culture and family night at my kid’s elementary, and one of the families brought a β€œLonghorn football” presentation.

Hell yeah.
